I've been avoiding this for a couple of days now, but I guess I'm going to have to face up to it. I was hoping you guys could give me an estimate on the damage I did to my car. I went off the road and through some brush/trees with the right side of the car. The damage consists of smashed right front quarter panel, bent up door, and smashed rear quarter panel. There is a nice dent in the hood, but it appears fixable. I'm thinking I'm going to have to replace both quarter panels and the door. The plastic trim that runs along the bottom between the wheels appears fine. There is no mechanical damage, I drove it away and all seems fine. I ruined the side markers and a fog light, but the bumper is ok. I'm goign to have to repaint the entire right side, the hood and possibly the roof. Also the wheel well lining is all broken up and falling out. I almost cry every time I go out in the garage. I'm wondering the range this is goign to set me back to see whether it will be worth it to claim insurance, my guess is that it will, but I hate to do it, since it seems they have a way of getting their money back. Sorry for the long post, any ideas would be appreciated. I'm sorry, John....believe me.
Zach
